Flavor stuck in Nautilus Aspire Tank

[Saxton]

Hey guys,

I've got a Nautilus Aspire and I can't get an old flavor out of it. It's the first flavor I ever put in, G2 Vapor's Cactus juice. I didn't like the flavor so I cleaned out the tank with hot water the same night I put it in and I put in a different flavor. But when I fired it up it still had the aftertaste of the Cactus flavor. I tried to clean it again, and still the same thing. I swapped out the atomizer, cleaned it again with hot water, I even let it soak for a day in hot water. Still the same aftertaste of the cactus (it's a very herbal type taste that I really don't like, especially mixed with cookie flavors, etc.). I believe I may have isolated where the taste is getting caught. There is a rubber (maybe silocon?) piece at the base in the tank that smells strongly of the cactus. I soaked it for a few days, cycling hot water, and it still smells really strong like the cactus, every other component doesn't have the smell. This process has been going for about three weeks and it's still got the bad aftertaste. What can I do guys? Is there a secret to cleaning these things?

I've heard soaking in unflavored vodka can help. I had a similar juice (way too herbal and really thick) that lasted through about 30ml of juice and several cleanings, but I never tried the vodka method (I don't keep alcohol around). Nautilus Mini rebounded though and now the flavor is gone for me.

I concur...


Vodka.

I get this with some flavours.
I've read about soaking in vodka but i don't mind it that much.
Sometimes I will have two or three coils on the go.

I soak overnight in some water with a few spoonfuls of baking soda mixed in. And if that doesn't work then rinse the tank in rubbing alcohol then rinse it really well with water after.

Pull the silicone o-ring off and clean really good. There is a series of holes in the backside of the o-ring that juice gets into. Same thing with the top o-ring.
